Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Thursday, June 25.
House of Yes puts its Pride edition of HOT & FRESH in the early slot, offering a queer burlesque showcase before the venue turns over to its later club crowd.
Wonderville's arcade setting is a natural home for a local electronic showcase, putting handmade sounds and game-culture weirdness under the same Bushwick roof.
The cryptically titled blue gossamr lands in CPR's PVMNT series, a Williamsburg performance context built for movement work that resists easy genre labels.
An Egrem-versus-Fania faceoff at Moondog HiFi frames Cuban and New York Latin catalogs as an active listening argument, not generic background vinyl.
Stravinsky's compact theatrical work gets a full performance at The Stone, where the close listening setup should expose every jagged turn in the score.

A touring cell-phone cinema show with its own profanity intact promises a proudly low-budget, participatory alternative to polished festival screenings.
A ten o'clock program called History Lessons at Spectacle leaves the curriculum provocatively undefined, exactly the sort of microcinema proposition that rewards a blind leap.

Ben Barnett's session starts fifteen minutes before midnight, when Smalls shifts from scheduled sets toward the players and listeners who keep the basement running late.
